Students research universities to decide which fit best with their educational and professional goals. When doing so, it’s a good idea to check the rankings of the best universities in Spain. Although there is no universal scale to measure the relative excellence of universities, there is a series of metrics which are taken into account to produce the university classification.
These metrics include:
While some experts believe it is impossible to objectively measure the quality of a university, it is possible to give a number of examples of criteria which could help you choose your future university. For example, the specialisms offered, the background of staff, teaching methods, student attendance, and the exchange programmes and student accommodation offered, among others.
There are 83 universities in Spain, 50 public and 33 private. Their faculties and facilities are distributed across 169 towns. The total number of students at the 83 universities in the 2019-2020 academic year was 1,633,358.
Taking into account everything we’ve already said, according to the international rankings the best 5 universities in Spain are:
Whichever university you choose in the Comunidad de Madrid, our student residence in Madrid will always be the best option for accommodation because of how near it is to the universities, although it’s also worth considering other options such as our university residences in Getafe and Aranjuez.
There are several different rankings of the best universities in Spain, and the institutions change their positions in each of them. This makes it difficult to know which is the best university in the whole country. Each ranking uses different criteria, but the final decision has to be yours. In addition to the criteria used by the different rankings you also have to take into account other factors, such as the type of studies you want to do, the city, the accommodation, the graduate job opportunities, etc.
The selectividad is getting closer every day and many students are waiting for the cut-off mark to enter the university degrees they want. But which degrees have the highest marks?
Extracurricular work placements are those which students can do voluntarily, ones which the student undertakes because they want to and not because they have to, although these work placements usually have the same purpose as obligatory work placements.
When talking about university, we talk about a very important stage change where more responsibilities come, important choices for a future that begins to not be too far away.
Organizing your study time is very important if you want to achieve the best academic results while still being able to fulfil your other daily responsibilities and take part in extracurricular activities. This is why it’s important to know where and how to invest your time.
